About Egrid and SI Grid with FireFly

[Jean-Pierre LEROY]

Hi,

I need to use a Grid control with FireFly for one application; does anyone have any comments as too the advantages or disadvantages in
using either "EGrid" or "SI Grid" with FireFly.

Thank you for your help.
Jean-Pierre.

Egrid32 has many advantages, one of them is that i provide
support for Egrid32 faster.

What are you trying to do with a grid control? maybe i can help.

Yes, Elias wears his computer, so you have instant support...hehehe  I think he wrote an app that parses PB and FF web pages for "Egrid" while he is asleep too, so it can wake him up.

So, how is SlimGrid32 coming?  Can't wait to see what it is like.

Thank you Elias for your kind offer; here is what i am trying to do :

I've 9 variables v1, v2, ... v9; for each variable the user needs to enter a "Minimum single type value" and a "Maximum single type value"; I've to check that the "Minimum value" is lower or equal that the "Maximum value"; so in my grid control, I need to have 3 columns (Variable, Minimum, Maximum) and 9 lines (v1, v2, ..., v9); I don't know how I can do that  :?:

PS : The min value and max value can be in array : MinVar(1) ... MinVar(9) and MaxVar(1) ... MaxVar(9)

Thank you for your help.

Im not sure if i understand correctly, but if not, maybe this can be a start.

I was going to call it PetiteGrid32, but when saying it all I could picture was a ballerina.  So, SlimGrid32 sounded better.

Thank you Elias for this FF project.

It's a good start for me  
thank you very much for your help.

I will keep you informed.
Jean-Pierre.

Hey roger, those are good names, and i was thinking that maybe
asking all the guys of the forum would be a good promotion for the
new "Slimgrid32"... what do you think?

Hello Elias,

How "slim" are we talking with SlimGrid32? A really small DLL?

[Elias Montoya]

Well... it is planned to be less than 100Kb with much of the functions
of the full version, but the "slim" comes from the usage way.

Most functions are now in 1 step instead of 2 or 3 message sendings.

For example, to retrieve text, now only 1 call is required, for example:

celltext = egGetcelltext(Hgrid, X, Y)

This features will be added eventually also to the full version, just in case that the "slim" users wants to upgrade to full version.

However, this version will not have all the functions of the PRO version, but it will have the most commonly used.
